Freedom to consume more than 3000 calories/day does not work with public health services, as your freedom to harm yourself is also harming your fellow citizens

Freedom to consume more than 3000 calories/day does not work with public health services, as your freedom to harm yourself is also harming your fellow citizens who have to pay for your treatments. You can't even have a system where people get to opt out of public health coverage, or you end up with people dying on the streets who opted out and later find they can't cover their health costs. Not a shot at you, just a comment about the dangers of excess paternalism. (slippery slope)
